How to load mp3 url using exoplayer?

Question

The exoplayer library seems so complicated to me. Can someone help me how to pass url radio station using exoplayer library? I tried with MediaPlayer, it works great, but it takes so much time to prepare. Here is what I have tried.

exoPlayer = ExoPlayer.Factory.newInstance(RENDERER_COUNT); Allocator allocator = new DefaultAllocator(BUFFER_SEGMENT_SIZE); DataSource dataSource = new DefaultUriDataSource(getApplicationContext(), null, userAgent); Mp3Extractor extractor = new Mp3Extractor(); ExtractorSampleSource sampleSource = new ExtractorSampleSource( uri, dataSource, extractor, allocator, BUFFER_SEGMENT_COUNT * BUFFER_SEGMENT_SIZE); MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer audioRenderer = new MediaCodecAudioTrackRenderer(sampleSource); exoPlayer.prepare(audioRenderer); exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(true); 

I do not understand how to get userAgent and what does it mean?

Answer 1

Here is a good description of what a user agent is: a user agent It should also indicate what a user agent should look like: user agent header structure Here you can see what your browser user agent looks like: http://whatsmyuseragent.com/

Simply put, you can create your user agent as follows:

"YourAppName / VersionCode"

Finally, a description of how to use ExoPlayer to stream mp3: Stream mp3 with ExoPlayer In this example, this is a local mp3, but the only difference should be the mp3 url and the missing user agent. Hope this helps!
